Panel discussion

Thu 21 Mar 2019, 17:00 — 19:00

Research through Design is the designerly contribution to the creating of new knowledge. Knowledge that can be used by others. And brought about by designerly interventions such as speculating about the future, making prototypes, and engaging with complexity and ambiguity without necessarily trying to ‘box them in’.

Lecture

Book presentation

Thu 21 Mar 2019, 18:30 — 19:30

The Italian Limes project by Studio Folder (2014–2018) explored how melting glaciers in the Alpine peaks are causing national borders to shift, revealing the submerged paradoxes of Western state making at a time of political and ecological crisis for liberal democracy. The evening’s programme will mark the launch of A Moving Border, a publication that builds upon the questions raised by the project. Using textual contributions and archival documents from Italian state archives, the book exposes the spatial and historical fictions through which borders are designed, built, and naturalized. A Moving Border was authored by Marco Ferrari and Elisa Pasqual, directors of Studio Folder, and Andrea Bagnato, an architect and editor.

The architects of Team Paul de Vroom + Sputnik have a shared interest in typological research, thinking in terms of models and the urge to translate their ideas into buildings. Each design project begins with a quest for the most appropriate type. That search is perhaps best described as laboratory work, in which floor plans are sometimes tested at actual scale before being elaborated further in drawings.

Thursday Night Workshop

Thu 04 Apr 2019, 19:30 — 21:30

What if losing is a game? Game designer Karel Millenaar believes that every complex idea can be simplified while you play. Taking losing as his point of departure, he involves the players in a speeded up process of thinking and making from which different games emerge. Since you learn the most by doing, these games are played and evaluated together. Not dwelling too long on an idea and simply starting to mess around is precisely what makes problems easier to grasp.

Lately the African continent has been the backdrop for a fierce competition between Chinese and American cloud platforms and hardware giants in pursuit of the most rapidly growing global user-base. While African states are reacting in different ways to the shift in power from the state to the cloud, a composite African technological future is growing. From Yabacon Valley to the Silicon Savannah, a wide variety of Afrotech cultures are forming, rooted in the old knowledge networks and pre-colonial algorithmic thinking.
